Charles Bradley - No Time For Dreaming Lyrics






No time for dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up (get up) and do my thing (woo)
No time for dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up (get up) and do my thing (and do your thing)

Dream while you're sleeping
Time is slowly creeping
Open up your eyes before it's too late
Try a little harder
Stop wasting over yonder
Wake up, you'll get your break

No time for dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get up (get up) and do my thing (woo)
No time for dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up (get up) and do my thing (and do your thing)

While you're sleeping
Somebody's scheming
Try to get-a what I got
Stay alert
It's got to work
Or you end up on the spot

No time for dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up (get up) and do my thing (woo)
No time for dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up (get up) and do my thing (and do your thing)

No time for dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta make it real (ah)
No time for sleeping (sleeping sleeping)
No time for creeping
Gotta make it right, gotta do my thing

This music speaks love, peace, sadness, prosperity...ups, downs...this music can encapsulate all of the feelings we've had throughout our time. More artists need to go this direction :)

    Those guitar players are so sexy...

    k.... n....

    i think there is a one guitar there

    Nope 2. A 6 string and a 4 string.

  65. C.... B....

    Mr. Charles Bradley and the Menahen Street Band- Just my two cents, but, this is the new Gold Standard in America. I've been listening to Charles Bradley for years and the best competitor to his sound is Sturgill Simpson. Best of luck to both of them!

  66. D.... C....

    Great singing and let's give it up for some fantastic guitar playing too!

    D.... C....

    bass player is also a beast.

  67. F.... N....

    someone please turn on the mike of the backing singers jaja

    F.... N....

    Fernando Nicolas Jaramillo Dye 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed a lot because it

    F.... N....

    Hahahaha, I wonder if EVERYBODY else noticed.

    F.... N....

    maybe it's on purpose ;)

    F.... N....

    you cant write in english and at the same time laugh in spanish

    and by the way I'm german so when I see "jajaja" I understand "yesyesyes" :D

  68. D.... ....

    I love that there's still a man with soul still preforming.

  69. T.... ....

    Got the screams on lock. Nice.

  70. C.... W....

    who is the trumpet guy? i don't think he knows how to play in key.

    C.... W....

    +Chuck Watson is this an expert opinion? I'm always uncertain when it comes to jazz, where the rules are there to be broken, rewritten and flat out ignored lol

  71. M.... A....

    Diamante negro😄

    M.... A....

    Canta demais !!! Os músicos também são ótimos....

  72. h.... ....

    who's running the sound?? fire that ass

    E.... C....

    +El-Etgüin Corrales The band its so souless, sometimes they look so posers don't put any emotion and for me that should be impossible with charles bradley in front of you.

    if you dont like the music you can buy one and get on it.....awwwa

  89. J.... S....

    Charles Bradley is the kind of man that is, unfortunately, a dying breed in this world.  SING IT CHAAAARLES.

    J.... S....

    unfortunately, he died today.

  90. F.... ....

    That trumpet player sucks! Glad Charles is killing it. Great soul singer!

    F.... ....

    The drummer doesn't have quiet enough soul either.......

    F.... ....

    @Mars Five i think the drummers pretty good actually..the sound is a bit flat but the bass and the drums on this track are fire! 

    F.... ....

    @Mars Five
    You"re not listening, Your letting your eyes fool you.

    F.... ....

    @Jon Burkhartsmeyer maybe the recording sucks. Idk. The drummer just sounds devoid of funk.

    F.... ....

    Or the "white piece of bread of pocket playing".

  91. J.... C....

    Awesome funkadelicious!

  92. I.... C....

    A reality check brought to you by Mr. Bradley
